So is Ince No 10 or winger? Is Cranie Right Back of Centre Back? I accept Quaner but the point is that Kachunga CAN play as a striker and indeed that was what he was bought in for And played well untill he was moved wide when lolley got injured and wells came back from injury. Played reasonably well in the Championship. I wouldn't want to rely on him in the PL, look at the gobber he missed on saturday. He'd be on the bench, at best, for me with Ince, Kasey and VLP behind Mounie |

Thoughts on the fee need to be contextualised with Gray going for £18m in exactly the same contract situation.

till he plays you don't know if he will do well or not and neither do we about our strikers yet lets wait till the season as gone 12 to fifteen games before any of us make such judgments.  Is that meant for me? Cant see anywhere in there where i have said he will do shit or ours are better, youve lost me no it was meant for otium not you sorry about that |

If Wells is a premiership striker then Bob (Beamon) is my Uncle. I never thought he was good enough for the Championship. Are you all mad? As soon as we got to the Prem we have had to go out and get 12 new players...and we are still 2 or 3 short. Even the mighty Jordan Rhodes never made it. Get real fellas. Take the money and PRAY he signs for Burnley cos thats one team we will finish above. To be fair to Rhodes he's never been given the chance. Agree with the rest though. He would if he was good enough, but he was always poor outside the box and only the top teams can carry an out and out goalscorer |

Fuck him, he had a chance and karma has bitten him in the arse I don't understand how getting a better contract with a Premier League club is bad karma. |

If Barnes stays Nahki would be 5th striker at Burnley: Woods, Vokes, Walters, Barnes, Nahki! He'd have a better chance of getting a game at Town 😂

I don't count Kachunga or Quaner as strikers anymore, they play wide for us these days. So comparison would be Mounié and Depoitre or Wells and Wood. I'd take ours every day. DW does though - so he sees it that we have 5 potential strikers with Nahki. Mounie #1 first choice backed up by Depoitre #2 and Kachunga/Quaner in an emergency should see us through to January window. Jesus, the thought of Quaner up front in the PL 😱 |

Wonder what Wells would go for if we were still a championship club?
Money thrown about now is off the scale but 5m for Wells would be good business for us.

There'd only be one stupid party in that deal, and it wouldn't be us or Nahki. He will do absolutely nothing in this division. That clearly is your opinion and likely you would have said the same when Arfield left (I know I thought it). But the likelihood is we will find out if he signs for Burnley. Actually I didn't, I was one of the few that recognised he wasn't given enough of a chance here, although he did admit himself after he left that he could have done more to fight for a place. I always remember that game away at Cardiff, our first after winning promotion, he played at RW and put in a cracking performance, and then was dropped the next game. That still narks me to this day. |

I liked Arfield too and defended him regularly on here but I never saw him as the PL regular that he has turned to be. I should pop along to my local ground and watch him play for Canada against Jamiaca on Saturday. |

Wish I could agree with you Goodshot - apart from Ince and Mounie, who else will score a decent amount? Palmer might but it's a hell of a gamble on such an inexperienced player. Kachunga has had one good season, in the Championship. Careers stats with the rest don't fill me with a lot of confidence and the "Quaner can play up front when necessary" posts worry me. Like other posters have said, if we don't get another striker in we're making the same mistake as last season, but in the Premiership. |

Be interesting to see if we have anything lined up maybe a loan with wells going and Wagner not picking depoitre yet

If wells goes we definitely need to replace him in my view
We have one striker the other Depoitre can't even get on the bench to test the new seating .

Imagine if it`s 5 mill as quoted that will be a down payment plus plenty of add ons. Like if Burnley stay up, appearance bonus etc.

If we are losing Wells (to a rival...) and relying on Kachunga as a 3rd option upfront we are lacking another player in the 3
Kachunga has played at 9 few times for us only- scored most goals coming in at the back stick or linking up from finding space from linking with Smith - different sorts of chances to those in a 9 role. Who knows - he may thrive there, we never intended for him to play wide right!
Depoitre doesn't look sharp / fit enough yet and I expect a big reason we are paying a friendly at the weekend
Kasey Palmer has not shown he can play more than 60 mins in the premier league yet
We are too reliant on kanchunga, Ince and VLP.
Quanner looks good off the bench but so can't imagine him starting many, Lolley has done well pre season / v Rotherham but can we expect him to play regularly in the premier league - unlikely, the new signing has hardly played at championship level - albeit done very well and none of us have an idea how he will do but can't expect too much too soon
If Kachunga is third option upfront then an injury or two are we too light in the attacking 3?

We are looking at 1 more player.
Somebody that can rotate between the front 4 positions.
Burke was our main target but we missed out on him.
We are still looking but not willing to overpay on anybody. I imagine it will be a winger we bring in and Kachunga will be back up for striker and the wing.
I'm not 'ITK' about any targets or anything but I do know that we are still looking at 1 more signing if the price is right.

Wells and Wood up front for Burnley, we'd be screwed by both the ex-Town and ex-Leeds curse in one game! Decent championship level strike force that Wood seemed pretty comfortable banging in there equaliser last week. |

Wagner has always said that

Otium: Good job i won 4k yesterday then Vin, to cover all my future losses on Wells. Footballs my game, not blokes in lycra on £150,000 bikes and toffee-nosed giants from Oxford in rowing elitist sports, where only 6 countries can compete anyway. England will never again be ranked higher than Germany with FIFA and i doubt they will get above Poland! I know players, i can almost smell them.

I actually believe this is more a non agreement by the agent than the player,but it could be having some kind of an impact on team morale
The present squad,manager and supporters all seem to be working hard together to push on to better things , and nothing or nobody can be allowed to stand in there way .
Well's has been given an option by the club to better his contract ,and time to get rid quick if a compromise cannot be found.

£5m for Nahki Wells when nomark defenders are going for £18m.
Burnley must be pissing themselves laughing. I'm not.

Injured and frees up his wages In the current market, this is a ridiculous bit of business. Try and buy another Nahki for £5m. The Club mostly make great decisions, we all know that. They have though got this one badly wrong. |

Nothing hard to understand there, if it Nahki had a very good season in the Prem then yes we could go for that. He had an average one in the Championship, so no we cant |
